(no title)

I request a webpage. Between the webserver and my screen, the page is injected with unrequested ads. The page has been hijacked by the browser itself. This is indefensible, full stop. It’s not 1998.

I am sorry to read that the value of BAT has fallen 80%. Sorry for the “greater idiots”; the vulnerable people who were persuaded to take part in the Brave/BAT scheme, and who have lost their life savings. And I have only contempt for those that exploited them.

No, the page is not "injected" with anything.

No, they are not "unrequested" (sic). The ads from Brave are opt-in. If you don't want to see ads to receive the rewards, simply don't turn them on.

No, there are no "vulnerable people being exploited". No one needs to pay to participate in the rewards program. Those receiving ads are merely cashing in monthly $3-$10 rewards paid in the token, and go on with their day.

No, no one "lost their life savings" because they participated in the BAT rewards program or because they used the browser.

All your comments regarding the functioning of Brave and BAT rewards are bordering libelous. Can you please at least get one fact straight, or do you just want to throw more unabashed lies around?
